The Board of MTN Nigeria has added its voice to the xenophobic attacks against Nigerians and other African nationalities in South Africa.
In a statement issued on Thursday and signed by Engineer Ernest Ndukwe, chairman, MTN Nigeria Board, stated that “The Board of MTN Nigeria wishes to add its unequivocal condemnation of the xenophobia and violence against Nigerians and other nationalities in South Africa over the recent days, as well as the violent response to it in Nigeria.
“Violence cannot and must never be acceptable and we must reject it in the strongest terms possible.
“We offer our profound sympathies to all those affected and urge all stakeholders and communities in Nigeria, South Africa and other countries, to act with restraint, and to work collaboratively to address these issues.
“Our future as a continent will be built on enhanced connections and greater integration economically, culturally and politically. It is in all of our interests to work together”, the statement concludes.
It would be recalled that Engineer Ndukwe replaced Dr Pascal Dozie as Chairman of MTN Nigeria Board recently.
